Top scariest horror movies

Posted on February 23, 2022 by Romina Bona

scariest horror movies for translators — A translator talks about the scariest horror movie in their life.

Continuing with the humourous cartoons about translators I felt the inspiration to create this cartoon playing a little with the most dreaded word a translator can hear —”deadline”.

Translators are an odd type that is most exposed when mingled with other “normal” people. No matter how hard they try to go with the flow, there is always a detail that will give them away. Do you agree?

Cards for English lovers – received pronunciation RP

Posted on December 9, 2021 by Romina Bona

Received pronunciation - RP - British accent — English lovers simply adore a posh accent

RP is probably the most widely studied and most frequently described variety of spoken English in the world, yet recent estimates suggest only 3% of the UK population speak it. (…) As well as being a living accent, RP is also a theoretical linguistic concept. It is the accent on which phonemic transcriptions in dictionaries are based, and it is widely used (in competition with General American) for teaching English as a foreign language. RP is included here as a useful reference, not to imply it has greater merit than any other English accent, but because it provides us with an extremely familiar model against which comparisons with other accents may be made.

I don’t know about you, but I cannot help falling for someone with a perfect English accent.

Tools for interpreters: Numerizer

Posted on August 26, 2021 by Romina Bona

When searching for material to practice big numbers for my interpreting training, I came across a fairly useful site called numerizer created by Anton Klevansky, who is a professional Russian conference interpreter member of AIIC. According to the the tool’s creator:

“Numerizer was designed for (future) interpreters and language learners by a professional interpreter with the aim of providing an unlimited source of challenging exercises, such as: jotting down every number in a sequence; shadowing (repeating after the speaker, first being just one number behind the original, then progressively trying to lag further behind); simultaneous or consecutive interpreting.”

Numerizer 1.0.2 beta has features that enable you to choose from several languages and accents, select the pace at which you would like to hear the rendering and set the amount of numbers to generate as well as the minimum and the maximum values.

The languages included are English US, English UK, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (Mandarin), and Chinese (Cantonese).

Note: there seems to be a glitch that does not allow you to set a minimum to a number smaller than 10 000 or a maximum over 999 999 999.

I hope you find this tool useful and have fun with your practice.

Happy interpreting!

Freelance translator – a poem

Posted on June 8, 2021 by Romina Bona

Poem for freelance translators — freelance translator – a poem

by Romina Bona

A knack for languages,

They say I have.

And extremely proud of that I am.

Words fascinate me and I’m obsessed,

With the parts of speech that are equivalent.

Language gaps are not my thing.

As I build bridges to aid the world.

The written word is my means of expression

And conveying ideas is my obsession.

I sometimes feel I’m an artist,

sometimes a scientist,

and other times just a typist.

I’m not invincible, I have my fears.

Typos haunt me, and

low rates leave me in tears.

I’m a loner — they also say,

who works with CAT tools and the Internet.

With deadlines fast approaching,

I have no time for networking.

I eat and sleep over my laptop.

And many times I work through time zones.

If you need a translation done with love and care,

just send me a message and I’ll declare,

That I will do my job as I always do,

Flawlessly translating as it’s due.

I love all clients willing to pay good rates

for all the craft, love and hard work

that are involved in this travail.
